103 Acquisitions
When Cheng Zhao'er heard this, she only felt that her heart was like a roller coaster, flying up and falling down all at once, and finally at this moment, she was completely safe on the flat ground.
She relaxed all of a sudden, sat on the chair, and drank a sip of water before she had the strength to speak: "Scared me to death, I thought it didn't work."
Ouyang Jing glanced at the snacks on the plate, picked one that was pleasing to the eye, twisted it with his hand, put it in his mouth, and narrowed his eyes with enjoyment: "It's impossible to tell you everything." ”
And again: "There is one more good news for you"
"The emperor has decreed that all cotton this year will be handed over. A series of tools for processing cotton and cotton cloth were granted to the Ouyang family to buy and sell. Next year, we will pilot the planting of cotton in Changshun City, and the emperor will send the second prince to send people who are specialized in planting to come to my Ouyang family to learn planting techniques. Maybe after three or five years, the people of the entire Great Xia will be able to wear cotton clothes. ”
"The emperor said that food and clothing are both the foundation of the people, and the two complement each other to make the people live a good life. My Ouyang family has made great contributions to the people. Ouyang Jing smiled and narrowed his eyes.
This time, because of the matter of cotton and cotton cloth, the emperor was very happy, not only the Ouyang family benefited greatly, but the second prince and the Qin family were also recommended.
Because of this incident, the Ouyang family not only became a real imperial businessman, but also got into a relationship with the Qin family and the second prince, which really benefited a lot.
Thinking about it, it seemed a little embarrassing, they all got benefits, but the real hero Cheng Zhaoer didn't seem to get anything
Will Cheng Zhao'er be unbalanced in his heart, what if the lion opens his mouth and proposes benefits to him.
Although he has thoughts about Cheng Zhao'er in his heart, but. It doesn't mean that he doesn't feel sorry for the silver, just a few hundred taels, in case he asks for a shop or a tael of dry shares, he will be distressed.
However, if you don't give it at all, you feel very unkind.
As soon as Cheng Zhao'er saw Ouyang Jing's expression, she knew that this person's mistake of being cautious had made another mistake. Rolled his eyes and said straight to the point: "What you are worried about will not happen at all." Am I that kind of person, and let's talk about cotton and cotton. If only I didn't have you. I can't do anything either, you just need to pay me according to the terms we talked about before, and don't unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”
Ouyang Jing listened. Show jumped up: "Am I that kind of person when I unload the mill and kill the donkey?" suddenly thought of something, and lowered his head and touched his nose, a little embarrassed, but he still had to ask clearly: "Don't you think this is really unfair?"
Cheng Zhaoer didn't speak. Just shook his head.
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, she suffered. In fact. Not for her. She doesn't want to be hypocritical and say that she is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune.
She does this mainly to make money, for a better life, and she can't talk about fame and fortune at all.
And the honor that the Ouyang family has now received. It is what people deserve, and it has something to do with her Cheng Zhaoer. However, there is no Cheng Zhaoer. Without cotton, the Ouyang family may not have the honor it has today.
And she Cheng Zhao'er. Without the Ouyang family, she couldn't get anything. Without Ouyang Jing, she may not be able to get cotton, let alone experiment with cotton cloth. Even her personal safety and financial resources, if it weren't for the Ouyang family standing in the way, these would not be guaranteed.
In this case, she would only be glad that she chose Ouyang Jing as a partner, not an unscrupulous businessman, and in the end, she might be able to eat her alive, and she was powerless to resist.
Ouyang Jing saw that Cheng Zhao'er's expression was sincere and firm, and there was no hint of hypocrisy. He still has a certain understanding of Cheng Zhaoer, this woman is, no, no, she is not a person who likes things with empty heads. Relax in the moment.
just promised: "The Ouyang family has already started planning for the shop, you choose an address for the tool shop for processing cotton and cotton cloth you asked for before, and I will send someone to get it done, and then give you the deed." As for the cotton in your cotton base, according to the terms negotiated with you before, the Ouyang family will purchase it at the annual market price. I guess that in the next year, after the cotton is fully planted, the emperor will increase taxes, and other cotton will be bought and sold independently, and you don't need to find a place to sell those cottons, just sell them to me and others, and your dry shares will not be less, you go to the town with me today, and we will sign the contract. Although with our friendship, whether this contract is the same or not, it is more formal after signing, after all, it is not a trivial matter. Since Cheng Zhaoer is so refreshing, he must always show sincerity.
Cheng Zhao'er nodded in agreement, she couldn't ask for this, she was originally a person who didn't like trouble, let her contact the seller everywhere to compare the price, she would definitely not do it. Since the Ouyang family is on the road, she is naturally happy.
At that moment, she urged Ouyang Jing to come and hurry up to sign the contract, and she was completely relieved.
Ouyang Jing was half angry with her, was he so unbelievable that he couldn't even wait for him to eat when he was angry, and ignored Cheng Zhao'er, and asked Zhuqing to go to the stove to see what else to eat. He was on a par with her, and he wouldn't leave until he was full.
Cheng Zhao'er couldn't think about it, so she simply didn't care about him, her breakfast was not completely ready, so she threw Ouyang Jing in the hall, and she continued to make breakfast.
When the two of them went to town after eating, Cheng Changqing and Li also knew the good news and were very happy. Cheng Changqing happened to be going to listen to Zhuxuan, so he took Cheng Zhao'er by the way.
When Cheng Zhaoer finished signing the contract, it was just in time for Cheng Changqing to go back to dinner at noon, so Cheng Zhaoer left with Cheng Changqing without any pressure.
Ouyang Jing, who left a deep resentment, he hadn't seen her for so long, and he didn't even find a chance to talk about the past
When I went back, Cheng Zhaoer deliberately bought a lot of pork, and luckily I saw the mutton seller, thinking that it was about to enter the winter, and it was the time when I needed to make up for it, so I didn't care that its price was five times that of pork, and I bought ten catties boldly, and I prepared a hot pot at home last year. Go back today and eat shabu mutton in advance.
Cheng Changqing did not stop Cheng Zhaoer's big moves, and he officially signed the contract with Ouyang Jing today, and he was happy in his heart. It's rare to eat something good, what's the matter.
When I came back, I ate casually at noon, and it was time for the afternoon. Cheng Zhaoer cleaned up the mutton he bought today at home and made a large piece of mutton soup.
Mutton soup is a very nourishing health soup in winter, and there are many women in the family, so it is best to drink some mutton soup to get rid of the cold.
Cheng Zhaoer took out the hot pot ordered last year, cut the remaining mutton into thin slices, washed vegetables and mushrooms, and some sea vegetables.
A busy afternoon. It's time for the evening. Cheng Zhao'er gave Cheng Xue'er and Han Yi a big Gu mutton soup, and after they came back, the family of seven began to eat the mutton hot pot.
The weather in October was already a little cold, and the clothes were not very thick. Eating steaming hot pot, sweating, sitting around and talking homely is really the ultimate enjoyment.
At night. Maybe it's a big deal, and it's finally decided. Cheng Zhao'er was different from the nightmares of the previous day, and she slept very peacefully.
Early the next morning. Cheng Zhao'er got up. She asked Li to carry a letter to her uncle Li Junan the day before. Since the Ouyang family has already prepared for the shop, they must always inform the uncle.
The keys to the cellar at home were all found, waiting for the Ouyang family to bring someone to collect all the cotton.
This cotton was wanted by the emperor of Jinduli, and this purchase will not be bothered this year, and the Ouyang family will prepare it.
Cheng Zhao'er these. Naturally, they are also waiting for the Ouyang family to come and buy it. Sure enough, before the sun rose, Ouyang Jing took Zhuqing with him. A crowd of people came.
Even if Cheng Zhaoer is already considered an "expert", but. The cotton produced by one acre of land is not comparable to that of later generations.
Cheng Zhaoer has roughly calculated, in later generations, an acre of land will get 500 catties of seed cotton, which is still less, and more can reach 800 catties, but now Cheng Zhaoer's cotton field is barely 200 catties of seed cotton per mu, and according to the discount rate of seed cotton to lint, one acre of land is only about 80 catties of lint.
And 100 acres of land is about 20,000 catties of seed cotton, which is about 8,000 catties of lint.
And the emperor said that he wanted to buy, naturally he wanted to buy all of them, but because next year this side is a pilot area, cotton will be planted, so the Ouyang family is responsible for processing the seed cotton into lint, and then the Ouyang family will distribute the cottonseeds that have been processed and can be used for seedlings, and then distribute them to the people.
The purchase price of seed cotton is also quite high, and six cents a pound has caught up with grain. Although, this price is too low for the high price that the South has instigated before, and even the rich merchants can't afford it.
However, now that the emperor has decreed, it is not up to them to have the final say.
Cheng Zhao'er just sold the seed cotton in this field to Ouyang Jing, and made a net profit of one hundred and twenty taels of silver.
In the eyes of the croppers, this is simply a huge amount of money that cannot be seen in life.
Today, Ouyang Jing brought many people over, because there were many people, which naturally caused a commotion. Especially when Cheng Zhaoer took out all the cotton at home.
Therefore, there were many people around the door of Cheng's house, even Cheng Dingwang and Wang's family, Cheng Changgui's family and Cheng Changfu's family.
Although the villagers are simple, it is inevitable that they will be moved when they see the Cheng family exchange so much silver.
There was one who couldn't hold his breath, and he didn't care if the Cheng family was still there, so he stopped Ouyang Jing and said, "Young Master Ouyang, why is this cotton so valuable, I don't know if you still want it to be redundant, can we also plant some subsidies." Although most of the others didn't speak, they all stared at Ouyang Jing tightly.
Hundreds of taels of silver are really astronomical in the eyes of the peasants, and they also grow grain and cotton, and if the purchase price of cotton is so high, they will plant it well. When the time comes, they can change the silver, and they can also buy food to live, and the bud grain noodles are only two or three cents a catty, they eat the bud grain noodles every day, and at the end of the year, they must be able to save a sum of money, think about such a day is very beautiful.
Even Cheng Changfu's family and Cheng Changgui's family also stared at Ouyang Jing closely.
Ouyang Jing shook the folding fan and waved his hand: "Don't worry, the imperial court has already made a will, next year the entire Changshun City will be planted on a pilot basis, and if you want to try it next year, you can ask me to get the seeds." ”
When the villagers heard that they were not satisfied, they scattered and discussed this. I didn't think that there would be such a benefit, and maybe I would be able to earn a lot of money next year.
With such a comparison, the whole village is really overjoyed, and before this happens, the grain has not been planted, and they know how much silver they will get in the end.
They all went back to worship the Buddha and burn incense, begging God to be sure that the wind and rain would be smooth next year, but there would be no drought or flooding, and it would be troublesome.
All of a sudden, the good news spread at breakneck speed. Until Ouyang Jing left with the cotton, they hugged Cheng's house and inquired about the planting of the cotton.
Earlier, when Cheng Zhaoer got these things back, they were very curious, and they heard that this thing can be used as a quilt or as a clothes, but it is easy to use. I didn't expect to plant it myself next year. At the same time, they were delighted, but at the same time, they also reacted, after all, this is planted on the ground, but how to grow it, what is the habit of this cotton?
Naturally, I have to ask the Cheng family who has planted it.
Therefore, although the Cheng family has already said that when planting next year, the Ouyang family will inevitably send someone to guide the planting of cotton, but it cannot reduce their enthusiasm in the slightest, and they are still surrounded by the Cheng family, as if the Cheng family has some unique secrets.
has been making trouble for several days, and seeing how to ask, the Cheng family has nothing to say, and they can only do it.
When the cotton was completely purchased, Cheng Zhaoer was completely idle.
She asked her cousin Li Zhijie to help her find a book about various explanations of animal habits, which was not a specific record of animals, but just a travelogue written by an unknown person, which included some descriptions of the habits of some wild beasts and mountain spirits he encountered.
Even such a few things were found by Li Zhijie after asking several classmates, so Cheng Zhaoer also cherished them.
One day in November, she happened to meet Han Yi and mentioned it to him, Han Yi knew the bee very well, but he did not approve of her behavior of wanting to breed bees.
After all, I have never heard of this bee being able to be farmed.
This bee has wings, and if you want them to collect honey, you have to let them fly out, and if they fly out, will they fly back again?
Don't make a big joke when the bamboo basket is empty
Cheng Zhao'er was not annoyed by Han Yi's suspicions, after all, even she herself was not sure if she would be able to succeed, but she would not know anything without trying.
Although Han Yi felt that it was unreliable, it would not dampen the enthusiasm of this aunt, and only said that he would find him if he had anything to help. Cheng Zhao'er will naturally not be polite
Time was in Cheng Zhaoer's busy research on bee habits, and it was in the wax moon again. To be continued
